July 23, 2011--During a meeting
of the DNC Rules and Bylaws Committee, Anita Bonds, chair of the DC
Democratic Party, presents the DC party's 2012 delegate selection plan
as DNC staff and aides look on (the co-chairs are in the middle,
blocked in this image).

The committee, chaired by Alexis Herman and James Roosevelt, Jr., is in
the process of reviewing these plans which set out how delegates will
be selected for the 2012 Democratic National Convention in Charlotte,
NC. State parties were required to submit their plans by May 1,
and the committee began considering them in a June meeting.
Starting out with staff recommendations, members of the committee look
to see whether the plans meet affirmative action goals and other
requirements or whether they have deficiencies; careful consideration
is given to waiver requests. [See another report on this meeting
